Michigan Swampbuck Has Arrived

[MichSwampbuck]

Greetings all,

I'm finally here and giving it a whirl. I've been lurking all along like some kind of creepy perv peaking through the windows, late at night, and . . . we'll leave the rest to your imaginations.

I've been around on other boards with moderation that needs work (to be polite), where a thoughtful comment can get you labeled and mischaracterized, not to mention the shallow depth of echo chambers that offer no useful information. Be that as it may, I hope this reputation of mine on these unknown boards doesn't cause problems here, however, I can assure everyone it was their attitudes that spawned my own. Plus I long for the discipline of the old days on the now deceased ATS. To be honest, I've been a bad boy and I'd enjoy some discipline and the stinging burn of a good session in the old woodshed.

Thank you Sir. May I have another?

Oh, nice Emojis here. Some are nasty!

[Chiefsmom]

Welcome friend!
Happy you found your way here.

Hello and welcome fellow Michigander!

They need to place The National Guard on standby!

We're so glad you made it.  

I hope you enjoy the new digs.

Hi there Buck, nice to see you made it here.

[Quantum12]

Hi, it’s good to see you hear!

[MichSwampbuck]

Thanks for the welcomes. It is nice to be able to reply and not just lurk.

I guess my greatest motivation to join was the lack of respect I was getting at other boards. Plus, if I were to comment on other peoples' posts who were labeled liberal or leftist and added to anything they said, I was "one of them!". The political polarization is intense on the boards and the "you're either with us or against us" attitude is very apparent.

I'd like to debate and do deep research to find reasonable answers to questions or to support the facts of the matter. I'm not here for an echo chamber where people question your character if you aren't making the same noises they are. Its like you're only a good guy if you agree with them and the enemy if you don't. I'm here to get information and I treat the boards as an organic news feed network, not to argue politics and be called names.
